Send a Parcel To Norway Fast - DHL Courier Delivery
Steeped in history, the relationship between the UK and Norway has been strong dating back to the Vikings. Nowadays, 18,000 Norwegians live in the UK and over 13,000 British people live in Norway, working in industries such as oil, gas and hydroelectric. Voted as “the most liveable place on earth” due to the great standard of living and attractive health benefits, it’s no wonder that the British residence and tourism numbers increase. As a global market leader in international delivery, DHL works hard to ensure a smooth, prompt and secure delivery of goods, gifts and other items being sent to Norway.
